Texas
is estimated to have more than 1 million illegal aliens, according to
the Migration Policy Institute. During today’s final legislative session
a group of angry protesters calling themselves illegal aliens attempted to disrupt the session by shouting, chanting and blowing whistles.

The issue they were protesting is a new law known as “SB4” or the
anti-Sanctuary City Law, where Texas police chiefs and sheriffs are
required to comply with federal requests to hold criminal suspects for
possible deportation.
In response to the disruption, the Texas
House leadership stopped the session and asked state troopers to clear
the gallery. According to the LA Times
the demonstration continued for about 20 minutes as officers led people
out of the chamber peacefully in small groups. There were no reports of
arrests.
However, State Rep. Ramon Romero, a Democrat from Fort
Worth, and fellow Democrat Rep. Cesar Blanco of El Paso became
physically violent upon hearing that Republican Matt Rinaldi called Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to alert them to the centrally located gathering of illegal aliens.
